branding is important, yo!

these days old onion articles are prophecy and new onion articles cant even give me a raised eyebrow.

this is/does both.

I understand your point here, but the “both sides bad” really loses the plot when the death, destruction and suffering by the most innocent is astronomically asymmetrical.

at this juncture I don’t give a shit if every combatant is the devil himself. stop the flow of kid killing weaponry and get appropriate humanitarian aid in.

20fucking24 and we still cannot pull our thumbs out of our collective asses, put the homicidal money machine into neutral and stop mowing down kids. fuck us all, every goddamn one of us.

brutalist take, but likely the correct one :-(

as is traditional, one of our corporate innovators seeks to protect citizens (never simply consumers, no, no!) with a defensive patent - sure to now be locked away in a safe until natural corporate patent expiration 1000 years hence.

now and forevermore we shalll sing in praise of this beneficent corporate citizen and their efficacious lawyerly thrust deep into the heart of our once inevitable (but now vanquished) future boring dystopia of ads beamed directly into our brains 24/7.

the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished.

the number I saw floating around was 3 years to production useful. regardless, C’s end days as the go-to, large systems level language are drawing nigh.

asm? ha! back in my day we were hammering ones and zeros into clay tablets.

no worries.

the net effect of client separation is that your device sees no other layer 2 devices on the wlan besides the gateway. this would typically be enforced at the frame level by the APs and is separate from any radio privacy cryptography.

a properly configured wireless setup would assume every client is compromised and would also disallow local client-client via source routing or proxy ARP or any other escape options. 100% secure? probably not, but its a non trivial barrier that would have to be circumvented.

as with e.g. broken WEP years ago, there are still options to mess with clients at ~Layer 1 but I dont believe its currently as trivial as it used to be.

most properly configured public wifi will enable client separation, of course that potentially still leaves lower level protocol and radio attacks.

that thing you do when you are absolutely, positively, without a doubt, 100% sure you can fuck shit up even more.

I just went from small dark closed box to a nice huge green open(source) forest…

best. sentence. ever.
